Very appropriate.

I had the honor of meeting Ken (and Hank Hartsfield) following the STS-4 flight in 1982. A few years later I saw my first shuttle launch from the press site at KSC - STS-51C commanded by Ken Mattingly.

Rest In Peace...

RIP Rear Admiral Ken Mattingly.

Other high ranking Apollo era astronauts come to mind:

  • Rear Admiral Alan Shepard
  • Brig General James McDivitt
  • Lt Gen Thomas Stafford
